Popping Candy

Popping candy is a sweet that fizzes, crackles and pops on the tongue when it comes into contact with moisture. The sensation is caused by tiny carbon dioxide bubbles trapped inside the sugar crystals during manufacturing — as soon as the sweet dissolves, those bubbles escape and create the popping effect. It's one of the most interactive and exciting sweet formats available.
